Just Stone Now

"Just Stone Now"

So subtle

So pervasive

Slowly eternal

So invasive

Settling within

The soul of me

Too evasive

To be seen

It spreads, it shelters

Me in the stone

Cold and unfeeling

I am alone

As I move

Stone falls away

But there is no flesh left

Anyway

Only the stone

Only the cold

Just stone now

Growing old

Rough and cracked

No beating heart

But certainly nothing

That can be torn apart
